Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) is a mitogenic peptide growth hormone carried in the alpha-granules of platelets and is released when platelets adhere to traumatized tissues. Connective tissue cells near the traumatized region respond by initiating the process of replication. The synthesis of PDGF can be induced by IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, TGF-β and EGF. Recombinant human PDGF-AB is a non-glycosylated, disulfide-linked heterodimer, containing one 14.3 kDa alpha-chain and one 12.1 kDa beta-chain, with total molecular weight of 26.4 kDa.

Platelet Derived Growth Factor-AB Recombinant Protein is suitable as a control for polyclonal or monoclonal anti-Platelet Derived Growth Factor-AB in immunological assays.
